Disney Stars Dylan and Cole Sprouse Graduate NYU With Honors

Dylan and Cole Sprouse are all grown up and college graduates! You may remember the boys as the adorable stars of Disney's The Suite Life of Zack and Cody, but now they're 22 and just graduated from NYU with honors.

The handsome brothers graduated from the Gallatin School of Individualized Studies, where Dylan focused on video game design and Cole majored in archaeology.

While many child stars opt not to stay in school, not only did both boys finish college, but Dylan even got a job at a local restaurant back in 2013. Of course, he also had those leaked naked photos, but he handled that pretty well all things considered.

Cole explained that they've tried to set a good example of growing up in the spotlight.

We've tried to do right, to fix some of the negative stereotypes of child stardom. We've had some bumps, but I'm so glad we went to Uni.

The Jonas Brothers took a break after their Disney days, with Joe and Nick each exploring solo careers and Nick returning to his roots on Broadway. Kevin went on to star in the reality series Married to Jonas, while the brothers worked on their comeback album. On October 9, 2013, they canceled their upcoming tour, citing "a deep rift within the band." In early December 2013, Joe published an essay that exposed their behind-the-scenes Disney experience.

Selena Gomez first made her mark as Disney Channel darling Alex Russo on Wizards of Waverly Place. Her wisecracking teen wizard won over fans, but the show ended and she needed to crack out of her Disney image.

Demi really shed her Disney image when she went to rehab for a variety of issues. Demi's honesty about her struggles paved the way for a bright career, including new albums and a judges seat on The X Factor.

Lindsay's star was on the rise when she starred in Mean Girls, but then her star fell, with multiple arrests, including DUI and drug possession and six rehab visits. Lindsay has been on the comeback trail, but wow, what an image changer!

Miley's approach to putting Disney behind her was distancing herself from her Hannah Montana role as much as possible. Her key to success? Controversy, including her infamous foam finger twerking performance at MTV's Video Music Awards. When she hosted SNL, she joked about killing her Disney money-maker, saying, "I’m not going to do Hannah Montana, but I can give you an update. She was murdered."

Ashley Tisdale's acting career started very young, but her role as Maddie Fitzpatrick on The Suite Life of Zach & Cody put her on the map. She went on to play Sharpay Evans in the High School Musical series and a spin-off movie.

Ashley snagged many TV guest starring roles, playing a variety of characters on shows such as Sons of Anarchy, as well as starring on TV's Hellcats. She went on to star in Scary Movie 5, the latest in the popular horror movie spoof franchise.

Brenda branched out after her Disney days, showcasing her acting talent beyond her clueless London character with roles in The Social Network and TV's New Girl. She also landed a starring role on the Fox comedy Dads.

Hilary Duff's breakthrough role on the Disney series Lizzie McGuire made her a genuine star on the mouse channel. She went on to star in a Lizzie McGuire movie and the channel's original movie Cadet Kelly.

Hilary had one of the easiest transitions from being a Disney star to continually working as an actress, singer and even an author. She's had her own clothing lines and perfume collections too! And she's a mom. Aw.

Vanessa's leaked nude photos certainly flipped her Disney good girl image, as did taking on more adult and racy roles, such as playing Mimi in the Hollywood Bowl performance of Rent and in films like Sucker Punch and Spring Breakers.

Shia moved on from Disney, taking on more serious roles like The Battle of Shaker Heights and Disturbia, before landing high profile parts in films such as the Transformers franchise and Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. Despite his success, Shia has had a "bad boy" reputation--the polar opposite of Disney!

After his Disney days, the sky has been the limit for Zac, who has had a varied and successful acting career, starring in films like The Lucky One, The Paper Boy and the upcoming comedy That Awkward Moment. In fall 2013, Zac revealed he had gone to rehab earlier in the year.
